The NHS Support Federation is a pressure group, founded in 1989 which campaigns "to protect and improve the NHS, keeping it true to its founding principles." It is based in Brighton. ^[1] It helped to establish the Keep Our NHS Public campaign.

Professor Harry Keen was the president of the federation and an active member for many years.^[2]

It monitors the NHS tendering processes.^[3] Jeremy Corbyn cited the work of the Federation in his re-election campaign in 2016 as showing that £16 billion in NHS contracts had been awarded "through the market" since April 2013.^[4]

In 2017 it produced an analysis of Sustainability and transformation plans pointing out that cuts in acute services were being made without prior investment in community facilities.^[5]
